Julip the (Resting) Fawn

Posted Saturday 18 April 2009 and filed under: Good Finds, Softies

Finished up this (lazy) resting fawn, which is on its way to Shannon who is organising an auction with all proceeds going to PANDA:

I think she looks right at home sitting on a little girl’s bed :-) Although, I hadn’t realised when I was making her that when all sewn up and stuffed, she is the size of a small dog!

A few good things that have inspired and excited me this past week:

From top-left clockwise: Artwork+Embroidery by Sarajo Friedman and she has a great interview with Poketo over here; quilted artwork by Caroline Hwang; Amy Karol’s new book “Bend the Rules with Fabric: Fun Sewing Projects with Stencils, Stamps, Dye, Photo Transfers, Silk Screening, and More is now available for pre-order!; and Kawaii overload thanks to the illustrations of Bukubuku (aka Silvia Portello).

Also worth a read is Pikaland’s series on Inspiring Creativity - the first two installments are already up: 9 Tips to be more creative and Creativity, Competition & Copycats.

I’ll be away from the blog until later in the coming week as the youngest is scheduled for a minor operation on Monday but I might pop into Twitter and Facebook here and there :-)). Wishing you an inspiring and productive week ahead!

    What a gorgeous little fawn.

    I love her hooded eyes and little collar. Just gorgeous.

    Goodness, it’s been a while - for no reason at all! Love that fawn, and also your little bunnies. Great work, as usual.

    I’ve just come stumbling upon your gorg blog and love, love, love your creations - especially the bunnies and the little story of leaving the bunny for someone to find. There are so many inspiring Aussie blogs to discover and yours is a gem.

    Hey Jhoanna,
    Love the round edges on the pics you are posting- how did you achieve that?

    The fawn looks so sweet and pretty. Another delightful creation of yours.

    Hi Jhoana,
    Your fawn is a delight. In November I am giving my daughter a baby shower and would love to here back from you as to either you could make one for the shower or send me the pattern. The nursery is in a fawn print and I want to use that print for the fawn. You can contact me at this e-mail address celaine4re@aol.com or USA 1-818-970-2093. Thank you, Elaine
